Hi All, I came across this post & tried to make the setting change:
Post: The symptom. I’ve often found sluggish performance in Word when searching, or when opening a second document. Jaws seems to either not be able to read a screen without refreshing, or, in searching, it would sometimes take two tries to get to the results. Just plain sluggish. In going through settings, I came across an option to “Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration”. I checked that and things seem to be much more responsive. Go into, Tools / Options / Advanced, and the item is in there. If you use the, Alt + G keystroke, you'll get to it much quicker. From what I read on Google, if you change it in one MS program, it should affect all of them. My questions are: Has anyone else noticed better performance when disabling, Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration? Note: When I checked the, “Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration”, checkbox my settings wouldn't stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox. To get to this checkbox the keystroke is, Alt + Y, on the Advanced tab. Why wouldn't my settings stick until I checked the, prompt to update style, checkbox? Running Win7 Pro, Jaws15 / 16, & MS Office 2010. All help & input will be greatly appreciated. Thank y'all very much. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.
